Ingredients:

• 1 cup water
• 1 12-oz bag cranberries
• 1 1/2 cup mango puree
• 3/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 whole star anise
• 6 cloves
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• sprinkle lemon zest

Instructions:

1. Rinse cranberries and make sure to remove any unwanted berries. 
2. Next, add a cup of water to a saucepan on medium heat, along with star anise, clove, and cinnamon. Let this boil for about 5 minutes.

5. Add cranberries, mango puree, maple syrup and lemon zest. 
6. Lower heat and stir occasionally for about 10 minutes until mixture thickens.
